Deep into an uneasy dream
Tina’s face was twisted in consternation.Dan hadn’t stayed
over this evening. She’d told him she needed time to gather
strength and come to grips with what lay ahead.He’d looked
hurt. She knew he could not understand her need to be alone at such a
time.He offered to sit up with her all night.She told him she
was wrung out; she would be able to sleep a bit.She longed to
fall into unconsciousness and to block all thought.Her bedroom
felt airless.The little clock on her nightstand seemed to have a
very loud tick tonight. The dials revealed it to be 1:00 pm.Still
asleep Tina shifted her weight to lie on her back.Her heavy
cotton nightgown became bunched up under the small of her
back.Suddenly she brought up her hands folding them over her
chest in the position that the dead are laid out.Beads of sweat
broke out on her face, although the temperature in her room was a
cool sixty-four degrees.She was carrying groceries to her car in
a dark parking lot.Behind her there was a small convenience
store. It was lit up. The buildings light stopped at the front of the
building.Tina tossed her bag of groceries into the passenger side
of the seat. Just as she lifted her leg to get in behind the wheel
she thought of her mother. She’d yell up a storm if she could see
her now. As a teen Tina was lectured countless times about getting
into a car alone. First check out the back seat to make sure no one
was lurking there, she could still her mom stress.Tina sat her
leg back down on the pavement. She opened the back door. All
clear.She slid into the front seat closing her door and rolling
down her window most of the way.Glancing out her open window she
began to shake all over.Two hands with long tapered fingers
suddenly grasp the window!As if in slow motion a hooded figure
raised itself!Her door was flung open wide.It pushed her
backward sending her sprawling across the seat.She was immobile
from fear.The thing lowered itself to her feet.It covered her
with its form inch by inch.Its dark cloak was spread wide to
enfold her completely.Her heart thumped so hard she felt ready to
pass out praying she would.It was up to her head now.Tina was
so cold it was as if she were entombed within a block of iceThe
smell of decay surrounding her was so rank she couldn’t catch a
good breath.The hood slipped back a bit. She couldn’t decipher
its features clearly. She could only make out black pinpoint
eyes.Drool oozed from its mouth. A great gob of spittle plunked
down on her forehead.She let out a scream.She thought she’d
cried out, and awoken.It was actually only phase two.Still
dreaming she thanked the Lord that it was only a nightmare.Lights
flickered from the traffic through her drapes.Something in the
room didn’t feel right.The sheet was shifting downward of its
own accord.Two hands grasp the foot of the bed as a cloaked
figure crawled up and over her!She surrendered herself up to
it.She was entirely passive until sirens from a passing rescue
unit brought her to an actual waking state ending her ordeal.Rest
would elude her the remainder of the night. She sighed and got up
from the bed.First light would signal the start of her greatest
trial.She must commend her only offspring to eternal rest.
